Where the Evanston GIS map lives

The free map to start with
Go first to the Uinta County parcel viewer; it maps every assessed parcel from Mountain View to Lyman. With a lot near Mountain View, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For land near Lyman, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.

For acreage around Lyman, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records.

Reading the legal description
Wyoming follows the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Bear River is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Lyman can be irregular.

On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Lyman, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Bear River is a good backup.
What the map can't tell you
Listed acreage is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary on land around Lyman. If you're looking near Lyman, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
What the record panel tells you
A parcel card near Mountain View normally gives owner and value fields plus the parcel number.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Bear River are kept by the County Clerk. Long-held tracts near Mountain View may trace back through many deeds, so a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
